Tablets: Windows fast becoming a premium OS, says Strategy AnalyticsBOSTON, Nov. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It has been a long bumpy road for Windows Tablets but 2015 proved to be the year that Microsoft and its partner OEMs finally got Tablets right, according to the new "Tablet Operating System Forecast - Shipments, Installed Base & by Price Tier" report from Strategy Analytics' Tablet & Touchscreen Strategies (TTS) service. Windows Tablet shipments have already increased at a 58 percent annual rate in the first nine months of 2015 and momentum will carry through the holiday season to reach 22 million shipments for the full year, or 10 percent of the total market.

Eric Smith, Senior Analyst, Tablet & Touchscreen Strategies service added, "Windows Tablet market share has dwindled in the mid-single digit range for the last few years but Windows devices now run the gamut from 2-in-1 Tablets from E-Fun in the US starting at $139 retail, to Microsoft's Surface Book starting at $1499 retail. Power, graphics, and functionality aside, Windows 10 provides a stable base from which the ecosystem can grow and we are entering a world where Windows Tablets take significant market share from Android Tablets on the low end and compete head-to-head with iPad in the high and premium segments."
